General - William Morris

I've always known about William Morris as 'the Red House' is in my town back home, therefore, having visited before I am familiar with his work, and looking at pattern design he is a very clear and obvious influence for me.

William Morris' work is so ornate in the amount of detail he gets into the patterns! Even those that are simpler in comparison are still incredibly elegant and detailed, making incredible work.

For the ornate end of this task I feel William Morris is a fabulous influence, his use of organic shapes and floral themes link really well with the kind of route I'm going down... however he isn't particularly good for the simple end!
